About UsCamp Evergreen is a non-profit, charitable organization owned and operated by the Alberta Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. The Camp is located on 480 acres of natural beauty, 14 kilometres south of Sundre. After several months of prayer and reflection, on January 10, 2010, Camp Evergreen's Camping Ministries Commission (Board of Directors) unanimously affirmed a new vision, mission and values for Camp Evergreen. We continue to be a place where faith is developed and lived out, fun is an unavoidable fact of life, and fellowship is how we operate, as we worship, live, work and play together. We continue to serve Alberta's kids and youth as our primary mission field, encouraged by Psalm 78:4, which reads, "We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done." Our new vision, mission and values reflect our desire to serve God wholeheartedly, to recognize that it's not by our own power, but by the power of God that people's hearts are changed, and to worship, live, work and play in an environment of celebration, love and hope! VisionCamp Evergreen has a vision to be a camping ministry that sees "individual lives transformed through the power of Jesus." MissionCamp Evergreen exists to share the good news of Jesus Christ and to grow kids and youth - spiritually, mentally, socially, physically, wholly - cultivating confidence, facilitating courage, and equipping leaders among our campers, guests and staff, all while having fun and using God's creation as a key tool! ValuesCelebration."This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:4). Evergreen is a place for celebration! We celebrate all that God does; all He has made; each life devoted to Him. (Psalm 47:1). Dependency on Jesus.Apart from Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5). We rest in His strength and power as we fulfill our mission (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). We rely on His inerrant Word (Hebrews 4:12). Love.We are Christ's representatives. In everything we do, we seek to be a community that serves one another, driven by our whole-hearted love for God and self-giving love for one another (Matthew 22:37-39). Prayer.Prayer is foundational to the very existence of Camp Evergreen. We will seek God continually as we listen, pray and read His word (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Relational Integrity.We worship, live, work and play as a team. Our relationships are driven by love (1 John 4:7-21) and defined by grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). We seek transparency and accountability in our discussions and decision-making, we trust authority, and practise mutual respect. We strive to be the same on the inside as we are on the outside (Proverbs 10:9; 11:3). Click here to read more about what the Canadian Mennonite Brethern Conference believes. Our People
